Common Signs You Need Roof Repair or Replacement
There are several considerations to think about when deciding whether to replace or repair your commercial or residential roofing, like the cost, how long your roof will last after being repaired, and your plans for your home’s future. The first step is scheduling a professional inspection to determine the extent of the wear and tear. At Bumble, we’ll look for these signs and more.
Damaged shingles
As shingles are exposed to the elements, they’ll start to crack, lose granules, or curl up. California’s strong UV rays can cause blistering, while high winds contribute to problems like lifting or even blowing away. Tree damage, moisture, moss, and algae are also common reasons for repairs. If the problem is localized to a small area, repairs are often quick and cost-effective, but if the damage is more widespread, you’ll want to consider replacement.
Sagging
A sagging roof is never a good sign. It means there are bigger problems than what you can see on the surface, with dangerous structural issues that could lead to collapse if left as-is. If your roof is sagging, you should consider a full replacement.
Leaks
A roof leak may be a small issue with a quick fix, but it can often cause underlying structural moisture damage, which will rot and weaken the roof. Ignoring any leak isn’t a good idea, as the longer moisture sits, the more likely you’ll have to replace it. You’ll also be at risk of mold and mildew growth in your home, and other water-related damage.
Age
If your roof is only a few years old, it’ll probably be more cost-effective to choose repair rather than replacement, especially if the damage is minimal. New roofs are less likely to have structural damage and will cost less to repair than to replace.
It’s often a better financial decision to replace older roofs, especially those over 15 to 20 years old, and those that’ll need replacement in the next few years.
